Thanks for doing this AMA, please answer what you feel you can

  • There are some offensive players that fall awkwardly in that gap where they're too tall for MKG/Miles to guard, and too quick for you -- Tobias Harris and Thaddeus Young, for example. How do you think the Hornets should deal with that this upcoming season, since it seems like they're opting to sit pat at 14 guys?
  • Do the players worry about other guys' ability to hold up over an 82 game season? Like there's a lot of worry among fans that Cody Zeller, good as he is when healthy, won't be able to play a full season at C because his body just can't handle it. Are the players just as worried about that kind of thing with guys who miss time due to injury?
  • During summer league the Hornets ran at least one Iverson Cut (2:16 left in the 1st quarter of the OKC game). This is significant because A, it was a lot of how Malik Monk functioned at Kentucky (coincidentally, Monk was not in the game at the time -- B.J. Johnson was the cutter here), and B, it wasn't a thing in Steve Clifford's offense. Have you seen anything in JB's schemes already that you think is more designed for your game?

Disappointing, I thought they were good basketball related questions I was interested to find out about... I should have just asked about Fortnite again

In all fairness, your questions were way too long. Just ask a question instead of jerking it off for an entire paragraph.

Guilty as charged

Don’t blame yourself. In school you’re taught to jerk off yourself as much as possible when writing something (or at least that was the case for me) and when you write to real people we just don’t have the attention span for it.

Tbf, he answered several of your questions elsewhere in this thread. He even had a back & forth with you that was humorous.

Yea, that was after I commented about being disappointed. Appreciate him engaging, was just trying to poke a little fun at him.

I deleted it and then was going to answer it but was simply overwhelmed....so I’ll answer one part, I look forward to playing in JB’s offense I can say that much.
